Mrs. Olsen's 4th Grade Blog
Welcome back to a new school year!
This will be a weekly reminder of what is coming up in the following week. I will send it out as an email to the parents on Fridays.
General reminders:
1. Binders should come back and forth to school everyday with your child. Please check their binders for homework.
2. Make sure chromebooks are charged before coming to school everyday.
3. Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions or concerns you have with your child. jolsen@ccsd66.org
This is what we will be working on the for the week of August 27-31!
Spelling:
This week we will be working on words that have the prefixes un-, non-, and dis-. We will also study word roots and how the prefix can change the meaning of the word. We will have vocabulary words that follow the same spelling pattern. The test is Friday, August 31.
English:
We will begin the year with the topic of reviewing what makes a good sentence. Focusing on sentence structure. We will also work on writing a friendly letter. This will be shared with you at Curriculum night on Wednesday.
Reading:
We will begin the year with working on close reading, this is a skill we will work on throughout the school year. We will be doing an activity with close reading and oreo cookies- which the students will love! :) We then will be close reading a poem entitled "Casey at the Bat". We will be comparing it to another text as well.
Social Studies/Science:
We will start the year with Social Studies and dive into studying the Northeast region. We will start by looking through the textbook and doing a textbook scavenger hunt.
Mrs. Olsen's Math Class:
As you may know we switch classes for math, so this will only apply to my math class- check your math teachers blog for what they are doing in their math class. We will begin the year with unit 1 module 1 on multiplication and division. Your child will have homework nightly.
Important Info:
Wednesday, August 29 is Picture Day as well as Curriculum night from 6:30-8:00 at Prairieview.
